cannot join the domain

I have installed Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition on the first machine. This server hosts the AD and it is also my DC, it is running DNS and DHCP. I have set up dynamic IP addresses for each computer (the DC has a static one). Then I installed Server 2003 on a stand alone machine that I'd like now to connect to the DC thru a CISCO switch. When I try to join the stand-alone server to the domain, I keep getting the error message that "No DNS servers configured for local system." (error code 0x0000267c DNS_ERROR_NO_DNS_SERVERS). It also says that I have a missing SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.xxxxxx.local.
When I tried to join the domain from a XP machine, everything was fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Just a thought here, have you tried setting the IP and so on of the stand-alone manually? That way you can give it the IP of the server you are using for DNS and DHCP. Worth a try maybe?
